“2018 vintage – Ranked #1 American Sparkling Wine.”
“Fascinating but restrained flavors of apricot, yellow plum and raspberry are revealed on the palate, backed by subtle acidity and a nice, dry tension in the balance. This elegant wine is light amber/salmon in color, and offers complexity, depth and a mouthwatering texture. 94 points. — Jim Gordon
“After tasting, with friends, a half dozen of your offerings, my daughter and her fiancé chose the Wedding Cuvée for their December 9 wedding. It was a huge hit! Guests kept exclaiming how good it was… thank you for helping to make the celebration as wonderful as it could be!”
TASTING NOTES
A delicate blush hue with spirited bubbles and a silky mousse, the 2020 Wedding Cuvée enchants with vibrant raspberry aromas, hints of strawberry, and a dash of citrus zest. Bright red fruit flavors unfold on the front palate, flowing seamlessly to the mid-palate, followed by a pop of red apple and a creamy richness that culminates in a tex-tured grapefruit finish.
WINEMAKER NOTES
Wedding Cuvée is our interpretation of a Blanc de Noirs. In blending this wine we chose Pinot Noir lots that were extremely expressive and fruit forward. Then in a decided step away from convention, we blend in a bit of steely Chardonnay to add a firm acid backbone. Hand harvested in the chill of early morning our Pinot Noir is gently pressed as whole clusters. The juice slowly ferments in stainless steel tanks at 62° to 65°f retaining bright fruit aromas and flavors in the wine. The dosage for the 2020 Wedding Cuvée is 2 mls Blanc de Noir LEX, 2 mls Blanc de Blancs LEX, and 4 mls 2019 Gold Ridge Pinot Noir.
